Master once taught me that the temperature between a person's ears and the gap between his head and his forehead should be the same. And if you touch carefully behind the ears, you can feel a person's pulse. As the saying goes, there are ten ways and nine doctors. Our medicine has four diagnosis methods: inspection, hearing, inquiry, and diagnosis. Therefore, Master taught me some basic skills in judging vital signs from the very beginning. But now this little girl's ears are very hot behind her ears, and her pulse rate is chaotic and relatively fast. What really surprised me is that generally speaking, there is a certain correlation between people's breathing and pulse rhythm. People with fast heartbeats will also breathe faster, but this little girl's heartbeat is fast, but her breathing seems slow. It was extremely lengthy, and it was too long to breathe at the speed that a child of this age should.

Only then did I understand what Master told me a few days ago that this child was frightened, but not just frightened.

Mr. Li's wife told me that in recent days, the child has started crying day and night, and his work and rest schedules are messed up, with no rules to follow. When I went to see a doctor, I was told that my child had an ordinary seasonal fever, but injections and medicines didn't work. I had been taking a lot of Chinese and Western medicines in the past few days, and now my child is no longer willing to take medicine. I asked her about the child's mental condition and whether there was any abnormality. Mr. Li's lover said that he has just become very sensitive, clingy, and always listless. His mood must be very bad, but physically, apart from fever and crying, there are no other abnormalities for the time being.

I took a closer look at the child's facial features. She was a very cute little girl, but maybe because of the long time of being noisy, the child still looked very haggard. The lips are a little chapped and there is a little red rash on the corner of the mouth. These are caused by lack of nutrition. It can be seen that the child has not eaten much during this period. The little girl had very severe bruising on her lower eyelids, usually caused by lack of rest, as her parents confirmed. But the little girl's tightly closed eyes and eyelids trembled with the shaking of her body. Through her eyelids, she could vaguely see the eyes inside moving from time to time. The trembling of the child's body may be due to the fever and chills, or she may be having a nightmare at the moment. Although she seems to be sleeping soundly, she should only be in a state of just falling asleep, maybe at any point Unfamiliar noises may cause her to wake up and start hysterical.

I gently reached out to check the child's eyes. When the lower eyelids were opened, they were dark red, slightly darker than the normal color. When the upper eyelids were opened, they were white. I started to feel a little hesitant and worried, because according to the general fright, the child's upper eyelid is the only part of the skin on the eye that can move with consciousness. The whiter it is, the less smooth the blood is. Such people always have the desire to close their eyes and doze off. The degree of whitening directly determines the condition and how long it lasts.

Judging from the little girl's eyelids, this whiteness is a bit scary. And his father said that she started to have this problem during the Chinese New Year, and in my opinion, it would be at least earlier.

We exited the little girl's room, and I told the couple what I saw here. I also admitted that I don't know what caused this situation at the moment, but the child's condition was obviously not just frightened, she It is very likely that it has been eroded by evil spirits.

Being eroded by evil spirits is somewhat similar to being possessed by ghosts or suffering from ghost diseases, but it does not necessarily have to do with ghosts. In the Chinese theory of yin and yang and the five elements, any disease is caused by evil spirits, so there is the idea of ​​exorcism and correction. , to artificially adjust the balance of yin and yang to achieve the effect of curing diseases. In most cases, there will be significant improvement after treatment. However, before I came, the family had taken the child to see a doctor, but it never improved. This forced me to consider this issue from another angle. , is the child possessed by something evil? Because Mr. Li’s initial description mentioned that the child woke up at night, screamed and pointed at the closet and said she was afraid. What was she afraid of? Did she see something?

All guesses are just guesses. The child is still too young and doesn't know how to express himself, so I can only use mysticism to answer it. I asked Mr. Li to tell me the birth time, name, etc. of the child. He simply made a nine-square grid hexagram on the palm of his left hand. After the hexagrams fell down, he stopped at the seventh and second hexagrams. This hexagram belongs to gold and is in charge of the girl in the family. , there is a white tiger in the palace falling on the door of death. According to the meaning of this hexagram, the child is in a bad situation. If this situation continues to drag on, if you are lucky and survive the autumnal equinox this year, the child will be able to It's getting better, but the greater possibility is that the child will be driven crazy or to death before that time comes.

I didn't dare to directly tell Mr. Li and his wife the conclusion of the hexagram. I found that if I said it, the couple would definitely be frightened. I am here to solve the problem, not to cause trouble for others. Even if I say, Let’s wait until this matter is over before we discuss it. So I took out the bowl from my bag, poured water to burn the talisman, and started asking Yuan Guang questions. However, from the development, I saw that the talisman paper gray became long and thin, looking like a snake or a rope.

Both husband and wife were a little surprised when they saw the development after I performed the water technique. I asked them whether they had encountered any snakes or long ropes in the days before and after this happened to their children. Just think of what you can think of. My water technique is not as advanced as my master's. I can only further elaborate on the clues in the apparition. However, my master is said to have advanced in the round light technique and can read the words directly from the apparition. This allows him to Analysis of clues is more specific and accurate. The couple thought for a while and asked, where did the snake come from in this winter. The child often plays with ropes. I bought her a skipping rope, and she sometimes plays with the yarn balls her mother knitted. But that hand is just a game. Children also have many other ways to play, not just with ropes.

At this time, Mr. Li's lover suddenly said, could it be because he took his children to watch the dragon dance? If you look at the one in the bowl, could it be a dragon?

Although it is not impossible, the possibility is very slim. As a person who studies Taoism, I believe in the existence of dragons. We regard every mountain and river as the veins of a giant dragon, and use this to judge a person. The local good luck feng shui. But now she said there was a dragon in this bowl, but I didn't take it seriously. First of all, there were no dragon claws, not even a single one. Secondly, I had never heard of anyone being frightened after watching dragon and lion dances. The most important thing is that my skills are limited and I am not yet sophisticated enough to see the dragon directly in the image.

I told Mr. Li’s lover that this was unlikely. Although the child was in a bad state of mind, he was not crazy. So what she saw might be what she feared the most. I paused and said, this kid woke up in the middle of the night and pointed at the closet and said he was scared. I would like to ask, did you open the closet and check it at that time? Mr. Li said that he turned on the light and checked at that time in order to coax his daughter not to be afraid. There was nothing in the closet except clothes. But after he opened the closet door, the child kicked his legs crazily, covered his eyes, screamed and cried. .

I interrupted him and asked, why do children cover their eyes? Mr. Li and his wife looked at each other and then answered me, because she said she was scared. I really wanted to think of something suddenly, so I asked Mr. Li, is there anything long and rope-like in your wardrobe? Mr. Li thought for a while and said yes. His military belt from when he was a soldier was hanging inside. But that thing has been hanging there for a long time, and I have seen it before, and I have never been afraid of it. How could I be afraid now? Young master, how about you go and check it yourself?

I said not to be busy yet, because at the moment I couldn't determine the reason why the child was frightened. It was almost certain that the child was not an ordinary frightened person. What I was more worried about at the moment was that it was caused by a ghost. If I want to prove it, I can only use water method to prove it. So I took out seven rice grains, threw them into the bowl, and then started to ask questions. The question was probably, if this incident was caused by ghosts, four grains should be sunk, three grains should float, and four grains should sink to the bottom before floating again. Pick one up. If it is for other reasons, it will all sink.

After a few seconds, four rice grains in the bowl sank and three grains floated. This is just the first step, because it could be pure coincidence. Immediately afterwards, a sunken rice floated up crookedly. The probability of this was extremely slim, so there was no doubt that this was a ghost incident.
